Electric wire theft rampant in Thakurgaon town

Our Correspondent, Thakurgaon
The electric wire theft has been taking place frequently in some areas of the town in the recent days.
The areas include Hajipara, Asrampara, Collegepara, Kalibari, Fakirpara, Hallpara and Sarcarpara.
Locals said, a huge quantity of electric cables (connection wire from electric pole to house) was stolen from over 100 residences and business establishments in the areas in the last three weeks.
Due to such rampant
theft, the affected house owners have to count financial loss in addition to harassment.
Enamul Haque, Swapan Shaha, Shafiul Enam, Sachu of Asrampara, Ataur Rahman, Md Alamgir of Collegepara, Nurul Islam of Hajipara and Abu Bakar of Kalibari are among the victims.
Nobody usually files any complaint in this regard as police have asked the complaints to mention the names of suspected thieves in the application, they said.
"How should we know the thieves? And what are
the police doing to stop the thefts?" a local posed the question.
Affected house owner Swapan said he had to spend Tk 1650 for restoring the electric connection of his residence while another victim, Enamul Haque had topayTk 1,350.
Shafiul Enam, ward councillor of the municipality, said they informed the local police station about the electric wire stealing several times but to no effect yet.
Seeking anonymity, a foreman of local PDB office said they had restored
electric connections to over 100 houses and business establishments in the last couple of weeks.
Contacted, executive engineer of Thakurgaon Power Development Board (PDB) Md Nurul Islam said he had heard about the incidents of electric wire stealing but yet to receive any complaint in this regard.
The officer in-charge of Thakurgaon police station said that punitive action would be taken against those responsible for the offence after getting complaints from the victims.
